Bicycle Safety
• This bike is not designed or equipped for use on public roads. Before it can be used on public roads
it must be fitted with the legally prescribed equipment. It is designed to be used off-road, but not for
competitions. The manufacturer and dealer accept no liability for damage resulting from any use beyond
this definition and/or failure to comply with the safety information and instructions in this user guide. This
applies particularly to, but not limited to, the use of this bike in competitions, overloading, and the failure
to properly rectify faults. Intended use also includes conformance with the specified operating, service,
and repair conditions in the user guide. Fluctuations in the consumption and power of the battery and a
reduction of capacity with increasing age are common and technically unavoidable, and as such, do not
constitute material defects.
Battery Safety
• Batteries are subject to the dangerous goods regulations. Private users are permitted to transport them
on the road without further conditions. If transported by commercial third parties (e.g. by air freight,
logistics companies, or postal service) special conditions apply to packing and labeling. For questions
about transporting batteries, please contact your local Pivot dealer.
• Damaged batteries must not be charged, used, or transported. They can explode and cause serious burns
or fires. Gases can be released and irritate the airways. Ensure there is a supply of fresh air and consult
a doctor in the event of discomfort. Liquid can escape and cause skin irritation. Avoid contact with this
liquid, but in case of accidental contact, wash off with water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush out with
water and seek medical attention.
• Batteries must not be submerged in water. There is a risk of explosion. Do not attempt to extinguish a
burning battery with water, only the surrounding burning material. For burning batteries, use a Class D
Fire Extinguisher. If it is possible to take the battery safely outside, smother the fire with sand. You do not
need to worry that you are in danger when riding in the rain; the battery is protected from moisture and
condensation.
• Clean the battery with a dry or, if at all, a slightly moist rag. Do not direct the water jet of a high pressure
cleaner at the rechargeable battery or submerge the battery into water, as there is a risk of water entry
and/or short-circuit.
• For more information on the proper handling of your rechargeable battery see the system instructions of
your drive manufacturer.
• Charge your battery only with the supplied charger. Do not use the charger of any other manufacturer, not
even when the connector of the charger matches your rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can
heat up, catch fire or even explode!
• Keep the rechargeable battery and the charger out of the reach of children!
